“The Mark Henry Story” is listed as airing on the WWE Network after Elimination Chamber on Sunday, February 17. It’s in an hour-long time slot on the Network schedule, with it beginning at 10:30 p.m. Eastern time.

ROH lead announcer Kevin Kelly has taken an expanded role in the Ring of Honor office.
Kelly is working full-time in the office as the top assistant to ROH head booker Delirious (Hunter Johnston).
Sources say Kelly has absorbed several duties that were shared before and most decisions will go through Kelly before going to Delirious.
The office shift parallels the recent booking shift, where Christopher Daniels was put in charge of certain agent duties at ROH live events to help lift the load from Delirious.
Back in the office, an unpopular decision was made to release content producer George Carroll, who worked behind the scenes developing TV angles.
Carroll, who was let go on July 11, was a favorite among many of the ROH wrestlers. One top ROH wrestler was not happy at all about Carroll’s release, pointing to his quality work since being hired in 2014.
The door is open for Carroll to return at some point in the future, though.

The winner of this year’s New Japan Cup will receive an IWGP Heavyweight Championship shot at Madison Square Garden.
NJPW has announced that new IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jay White will defend his title against the New Japan Cup winner at G1 Supercard at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, April 6. ROH and NJPW are partnering together for the show.
Previously, the stipulation for the New Japan Cup has been that the winner would receive a title shot of their choosing.
White defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to win the IWGP Heavyweight title at the New Beginning in Osaka on Monday morning. Tanahashi lost the championship in his first defense since winning it from Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 13 last month.
New Japan Cup 2019 will begin on Friday, March 8 and conclude on Sunday, March 24. NJPW has yet to announce the full list of participants for the tournament, but Kota Ibushi appeared at the New Beginning in Osaka, announced that he’s staying with NJPW, and declared that he’ll be in the New Japan Cup.

WWE Draft Week was about as even as it gets in terms of viewing audiences for the July 18 Raw and the July 19 live Smackdown/WWE Draft back-to-back nights on USA Network.
Raw scored a 2.22 TV rating to Smackdown’s 2.20 rating. However, the Draft/Smackdown drew more viewers and held off Raw when accounting for DVR viewership.
The Draft/Smackdown total viewing audience was 3.416 million viewers (live + DVR), compared to Raw’s total audience of 3.401 million viewers (average of all three hours + average DVR’ing per hour).
Raw was hurt by drawing the fewest DVR viewers of the year. Perhaps because of a second live show during the week the night after Raw, many viewers choose not to watch Raw after it aired.
Raw’s three hours averaged 268,333 DVR viewers, down 31 percent from the July 11 Raw’s DVR audience. It was the first time this year that Raw averaged fewer than 300,000 DVR viewers.
– Meanwhile, the Draft/Smackdown drew 246,000 DVR viewers, which was slightly above-average.
The final Thursday night airing on July 14 drew a huge number of 345,000 DVR viewers seemingly out of nowhere. Smackdown typically drew in the low 200k range Thursday nights on USA.
The first quarter average was 223,000 DVR viewers and the second quarter average was 210,000 DVR viewers.
– The DVR chart ranked Smackdown #1 on cable TV, followed by WWE Raw’s first hour #2, the second hour #3, and the third hour #5.
